HIST 460 Public History and Law Internship

On an individual basis and in conjunction with Career Services, students can receive internship credit for work in various public history or law settings. Internships have been arranged in the past with the National Civil Rights Museum, the Memphis Museum of Science and History, the Dixon Gallery and Garden, the Metal Museum, the Stax Museum of American Soul Music, and the Shelby County Attorney’s Office. The typical internship experience, in conjunction with Career Services' Internship Class, receives four academic credits. To enroll, students must be approved in advance by the instructor and Career Services. (This course counts as a 200-level elective for the History major or minor.)
